As of right now my volume is so low (only 5-10 patients/week) that I just do the billing myself. Takes me about an hour a week on average. Right now AC sort of meets my needs, but I have to do a few work arounds and fix the issues on the backend. If you take the amount of time it would take me to do double entry into a seperate PM it would probably be about the same amount of time. I just wish I could manipulate things in AC and have it export properly.
Scott, Bert and I use Emedware by Sage.
I'm using it for scheduling and the complete billing solution. We have in-house billers, are you employing a biller or doing this yourself?
It would make sense to purchase a PM solution if you are giving away this type of legitimate revenue generating capacity. The current super-bill preparation you are getting from AC is obviously not adequate to meet your needs.
I'm not advertising for Sage by saying this, simply want to share some basics. Emedware is affordable, subscription includes the clearinghouse fee for less than $150 per month. And Emedware lets my biller manipulate the 1500 form anyway that is required to get a clean claim, without limitation to the number of procedures per claim.
